Benton's Blast: Thomas Benton, flying west after the opening of his exhibition at the Associated American Artists Gallery in New York, relieved himself of these thoughts on the Braque first prize at Carnegie: "It has no more importance than those stitchings ladies do when they have nothing else to do. Not that the good ladies don't do it extremely well, but the goods they produce are about as important as this kind of painting."
